Just a little post

Life! What a crazy adventure it all really is. This year has been full of ups and downs and everything in between.
Chris and I have made some changes in our life that have been really beneficial to the happiness of our family and in our marriage. Those changes have taken some faith and trust but it really does all work out in the end. The only thing that really matters is that we are happy...through the good and the not as good. I have really come to understand love in a marriage a little more deeply and I am truly grateful for the experiences that have led me to this understanding. I always heard people say they love their spouse more than they did the day they got married and I get it now. It is a crazy deep kind of love that really does grow stronger with time and through difficulties. I really do love Chris more now than ever. I am so so glad that he is by my side always.
I'm still trying to get the hang of this mom thing. I wish it came more naturally than I feel like it does sometimes. This week has been a little draining. Lincoln has been whining non stop all week. There are times when he doesn't...only when he has your complete and undivided attention. That is hard to do all day. If I even scoot away for one second to grab a different toy or a book he freaks out and starts crying. It's hard! I'm honestly scared of the "terrible two's". If it's worse than this I might be checking myself into the nutty house! Okay...so I am being a little dramatic but really...there is only so much crying (fake crying), whining, and tantrums that I can take in a day. I feel bad for Chris because I want to shut myself in a room when he gets home and let him deal with it all but he has long days at work and wants a little quite time too....it's rough.
But there are good times too. I like to really document those times so I can remember those times the best. But I also want to make some notes of harder times so I know I am human and recognize that life isn't and never will be perfect bliss. And so I can learn from the past. But life is good. We truly are blessed!
